EN 81-44:2024 totals 48 pages and comprehensively considers the special working environments of wind turbine lifts, including vibration, tilt, extreme temperatures, high humidity, and salt spray. Key technical requirements include:

1) The elevator structure must be able to withstand the vibration and tilt generated during wind turbine operation;

2) The electrical system must have anti-corrosion and moisture-proof capabilities;

3) Must be equipped with a reliable emergency rescue system, including manual descent devices and emergency communication equipment;

4) Specifies the maximum operating speed and load capacity of elevators;

5) Clarifies the requirements and frequency of maintenance and inspection.


The publication of this standard will improve the safety of wind turbine lifts and promote the healthy development of the global wind power industry.
